UND Aerospace Flight Physiology was proud to host two-time shuttle astronaut Winston Scott and the "father of flight physiology" Major General George Anderson on campus this week.

Both are board members of ETC, the manufacturer of both our spatial disorientation trainers.

To break through the Earth's atmosphere and travel to space, astronauts must travel very fast!
The #Ax2 crew worked with @SpaceX at the National AeroSpace Training And Research (NASTAR) Center, a state-of-the-art flight simulation facility located in PA. https://t.co/t4SxTyGKFa

@hasardlee and crew successfully completed their 9.0 Gz qualification runs and proceeded to engage in downing MiGs and bombing targets. We appreciated their exceptional effort and enthusiasm, and we are excited to have them back for more such collaborations.

[The NASTAR Center @TheNASTARCenter]

The NASTAR Team spent two days with @hasardlee and his team of pilots to conduct high-G training flights, dogfighting, and a canyon bombing run using our ATFS-400 Human centrifuge.

Another training event in the books. Centrifuge proved to be a valuable experience. Despite previous spins with the USAF, the x-axis G forces we’ll experience on ascent/descent proved to be something entirely different. Crew crushed it!! @PolarisProgram @TheNASTARCenter

[Polaris @PolarisProgram]

This week, the Polaris Dawn crew completed training to familiarize themselves with the symptoms they may experience while at higher altitudes where there’s lack of oxygen as well as the g-forces experienced during launch and reentry

Have a wonderful and safe July 4th holiday!
